FILM

Italian director Lina Wertmuller, who made the original Swept Away in 1974, tells The Washington Post she regrets her decision to permit Madonna and Guy Ritchie to remake her cult classic. Wertmuller, 74, says she plans to make a sequel to her version -- plans that may be scuttled because of the ruinous box-office performance of this new version, which failed to clear $400,000 in its first weekend. "I have written a very funny story for the sequel, and I am very worried that maybe this is a disaster for me," Wertmuller says.

Steven Spielberg got a restraining order against a California woman who was allegedly stalking the E.T. director and claimed the filmmaker implanted a mind-control device inside her brain, reports The Philadelphia Inquirer.
